I was expecting to be back by 3, but we ended up getting back at 5! Stewart had gotten out of work early, and was waiting for me since 3... I felt bad for making him wait, so i decided to skip Changeling so that he and I could hang out ^_^
Saturday! woke up, made party preparations for J's surprise welcome back party ^_^ We hid, we surprised, we had yummy veggie-pizza (Thanx kit & L! ^_^) Saw lots of awesome game people. Played Werewolves/ Miller's Hollow and there was Smash ^_^ Bad people didn't show up, so that was good ^___^ Went home, got ready for another party, this time for a friend who i sometimes cosplay with. But, we decided we wewre too full for Fuji's, so we stayed home until they called us to go to the MU. We get to the MUGA an hour late, but people were leaving because there was a kid's party going on there. So I said hi to my friend, gave him his present, then back to the MUGA to play some Initial D ^__^ I played against Stewart, fun.
Sunday! Went to IKEA with J&J. we spent soooooo much time there >.< they wanted to look at everything, S & I were @_@ I got the frame I had been lusting after, and the 3-tier dessert plate! ^___^ We also ate there, the food was yummy, I tried elterflower drink. It came in a juice-box, so cute!
I've re-arranged my room, it's still a huge mess. And the sad thing is that the more I want to organize, the more I feel like I need to buy to get organized. Sometimes I think "a giant, tall wardrobe could fit all this" ... but Everything's Xpensive!! T^T
And now it's Monday! Time-to-get-stuff-done-day!
Friday there was a party at Crepe House Uni (henceforth refered to as CHU) for Sagat and 2 other girls. German came and brought his DJ friend Ricky ^_^ that was quite fun. We partied, had drinks. It was fun.
Saturday was Satan's Mascarade Barhop party and that was awesome. I totally dressed up! It was fun! Stewie said he counted 4 costume-gasms because I was having so much fun putting the costume together -^_^- It was such a great idea, other random people at the bar wanted to know who the Awesome Satan was ^_^ Everyone's costumes were great!
Sunday, German came back to pick up the Amps he left last time. Stewie, he, and I drank some wine and just hung out.
I start my job this week!! ^_^
- Music:munch munch munch
There is a friggin lot going on this weekend. I got invited to a party this Friday, a Sagat's birthday party! I need to see what to get her. I think German is coming.
Saturday, I'm in charge of organizing a welcome back party for a friend. I got put in charge by the guy's gf because I know the most people and have the most contact info, lol. I still need to make some more phone calls. I'm working to the best of my abilities *bows* Although it's nice that she and kit think that I'm the best for the job, it is more added to my plate. Hopefully all goes well.
Then later on Sat. night, there's an awesome event! I started to plan what I'm going to wear and have the perfect outfit, I just need to make a few adjustments and make it fit me- like everything, it's too big (off topic: a XXL Gap Kids shirt is too big on me ). I'm looking forward to it, and taking Stewie with me! ^_^ And my costume is kick ass- I'm almost tempted to go by myself and see if anyone recognizes me, lol ^^
I'm really looking forward to this weekend ^_^
Saturday: Woke up with a hangover >.< I had been planning on going to the Naruto gathering, but it was at 10 am! Too early for me. I slept until noon, got into my Yuna cosplay. I was excited because of my new boots, but I couldn't find the pink hood to the costume! But I had so much of the costume on anyways (the costume has about 12 pieces...) that I decided to do it anyways. I also decided not to go to the gathering for FF since i figured that they would be taking a bunch of Yaoi pics and wouldn't want a female around... Went to the artists' alley, I was going to go to the dealer's hall, but Russian called. The night before, he told this guy, who dressed as Lithuania from Hetalia about this Inidian restaurant. The three of us made plans to go for lunch. I wanted to skip, but Russian convinced me by saying that i would make Lithuania disappointed. Why the two guys couldn't go without me is a mystery. When I got back, I went to the Dealer's Hall, bought some Reborn doujins and got some manga by CJ (my fave BL mangaka!).
Kristen and I met up with a girl dressed as Mio and her friend as Yui! I met Mio earlier that day, and we both wanted to do a gathering for K-on! ^_^ It was great, we had all of the characters! Then I rushed over to the auction. There was a great Auction 101 on the Proper Care and Feeding of Your Bishi ^_^ It was by Cid and Jacob! <3 There were good skits and naekid mens. Jacob went for about $800. He went for about $300 more than any other bishi. The girl that won him said that she had been trying to buy him for 5 years or something. Anyways, you can really tell that the economy is bad when he goes for less than a thousand. Also, Josh and Thorn didn't auction themselves this year. Sad... Oh! and Shiki is going by a new name, Tess. It's cute!
After the auction, I went to Peter's room party. I got invited by 3 people in that room, each person not knowing that someone in that room had invited me yet. It was a great party! I had a Chocolate Cake for the first time! It was delicious! Met some nice people too. Then I went to the rave for a little bit. I walked in, and one of the ushers asked me if I wanted to get up on stage... ^^; *shy* but Amanda Panda went up with me, which was nice. Even though the music was awesome, I didn't have too great of a time because there weren't many people i knew there. So I headed with some friends to the Bishi room party, but i really didn't know many people there either. Hmm... lame. I didn't stay long and ended up hanging out in the lobby with friends and meeting new people. and finding out that this friend also knows this friend, ect. It seems that my network keeps expanding- cosplayers all know other cosplayers. It seems people know Peter, Peter thinks a lot of cosplayers know Kristen, lol. Jacob was there with his buyer, who I met. My night ended at 4 am again.
I woke up at 9 and showered. I was going to meet a friend at 10-ish. While I waited for a call, I packed, took things downstairs and left it with the conciengne (totally spelled that wrong!). I went to the dealer's hall were I saw my roomies (who are always up so early! ^_^) I got a call, hung out a bit, then called Christine about the Yu-Gi-Oh gathering. She wanted me to cosplay as a different character than Mokuba since they already had a Mokuba. I changed, and we headed the the lobby.
So here I was, dressed in a costume Christine had made, when EBK comes along and wants out pictures!! >.< He NEVER wants a pic of me! T^T So we take pictures, and the rest of the gathering gets there. Most people are doing YGO, but i'm in a 5D cosplay. So I change back into Mokuba and we take pics out by the pool. It was quite fun, I wish i knew more about the series other than what I have watched in YGO Abridged. I hung out with Christine afterwards, we had to stay around since she submitted works into the auction. We went to the artist's alley again, then went to the game room. We played ParaPara-Something, I forget what it's called. ^_^ It's like DDR, but with motion sensors, so you use your arms. We played a bit of Rock Band, but the pedal to the drums were broken. Played some Street Fighter. Then we went to the auction. I had never been before so it was interesting. There was a woman that snorted when she laughed, which was funny ^_^ The auction done, we went to go pick up the monies. One of the buyers for Christine's work was from Australia! And this was her first US con! ^_^ So kwel. With that all done, we packed into the car and headed back to Davis. We were both a bit tired, but we kept each other awake. We talked about YGO pairings because the naming system is different, like Pride Shipping and Puppy Shipping. I got home and fell asleep early.
Now I'm back (from outer space!). A bit of post-con blues. I want to get working on cosplay costumes! I went to the Halloween store yesterday ^_^ I bought some uber things. ^______^
Discoveries I have made:
My room is accutally a walk-in closet, with a bed and a desk to make it homey.
1 by 2 in reborn isn't a pairing for Vongola Primo and Vongola Secondi, but Hibari (Hitotsu- I'm guessing) and Tsuna (Two). Darn. O well, at least the cover is pretty...
DAC Halloween Party was AWESOME!! saw friends, there was food and people cosplaying! <3 people cosplaying! Awesome costumes to everyone!
Wednesday: Got back from Dallas, as exsausted. J was coincidentally taking the bus home! And M waited at the bus stop for me and had cookies (to cheer me up since I was feeling a little down in Dallas).
Thursday: went running with J. Then she, kit, and I ate at Zen Toro! It was SOOOO good! ^_^ Then made tempura. Ko came over and helped! We made all sorts: broccoli, carrot, yam, mushrooms, and shrimp! delish! The cooking took a while; Ko and I were late to DAC. Then we skipped Mazinger to take pics outside. (need to send officers old paperwork and post pics). Went back to my place and played games.
Friday: slept in, hung out with friends playing Mario Kart until S showed up! I was going to drag him to Dragon, but we dropped my friends off and went to the Dollar Tree. I bought some rocks for Fred the Fish.
Saturday: went to Westfield Mall, did some shopping with Tomo (still sad that one of the coupons wasn't valid for something we bought). Went to Evangeline's quickly and bought a blue wig for Sailor Mercury! woot! Hung out with Kristen and Ko. Then I went to a Morraccan restaurant that Adam invited me and some friends to. It was AMAZING! It's a sit-on cushions, eat-with-your-hands type of place. They had a gorgeously hot woman belly dancing! I really want to take lessons! Unfortunately, one of the girls had a peanut allergy and there was some in one of the dishes. She and Adam did a quick run to Target for Benedryl.
Sunday: got a visit from Russia and Germany. We went to Sudwerks, got food and drinks. Germany was excited that he got this new camera (surrogate penis). ^_^ We then went to the MU Games area. Germany wanted to play Pump it Up. There was also a Guitar Hero game, but Russia is left-handed! We then wanted to kareoke, and since the only place that I really know of in Davis that has that is Crepe House Uni, we went there. I found out that I got hired!!!!!! I HAVE A JOB NOW! Then we did kareoke and drank. a lot. We had 4 bottles of Plum Wine, I got sake and drank it all pretty much by myself (since no one else really liked it), and some beer. After a few funny moments, Germany and Russia left.
I had an awesome weekend!
Last night, my parents' flight was delayed for 2 hours, I picked them up at 10.5 pm. Then I told them that i was leaving the next day at noon, meaning I would need to be at the airport at 10. My dad was sad because he had to leave early for work and my mom also wanted to spend more time with me. So, I rescheduled my flight for Wednesday afternoon! ^_^ More time with family (more distractions... and shopping therapy!).
I love shopping in Dallas! <3
I'll be going to Crepe House Uni when I get back Wed night, Thurs jogging & tempura (yum!) and DAC. Dragon Friday, going to a Moroccan Restaurant on Sat, and Germany and Russia are going to visit me on Sunday. Woot! ^_^ Busy.
Not that it makes me feel better, but there are 2 guys in LA that want me to visit them... *sigh* I just don't get it. o.0
I've been doing some autopsycoanalysis. I seem to come up with some contrasting things. I like and don't like attention. I like quiet and sound. I have few and many friends. I'm also oblivious, too nice, protective and concerned for my friends, and overly optimistic.
Good news, my dad looked at my back and it's nothing serious. The upper left side of my spine/ by the shoulder blades has been cracking (spinal cracking) for a month- I talked to my mom about it the last time I was here. And the spine cracks just in the upper left part. I was wondering if it was posture or scoleosis. My dad asked if I was exercising wrong. So I think it maybe just stress? *crack crack*
mmm... I can't wait to play Pokemon Snap and Mario Kart! ^__^ And tomorrow I'm going to Allen Outlets! Woot!
I wish I could write more here.
Things have gotten so bleh, I'm considering moving back to TX. I feel like there's nothing that's really keeping me there anymore. There's too much drama and I don't want to deal with it- I'm not really a part of it and don't want to meddle, but I am concerned about my friends. I just feel like I need to get away from things for a bit longer.
I hung out with a HS friend and her bf yesterday. We went to a costume store which ended up being disappointing. Then we went to IKEA since it was close and they wanted to find a stand for their TV. Then we went to Stonebriar Mall, bought movie tickets, ate Cajun food, went to stores (Hot Topic, Journey's, and this used game store). I bought Mario Kart and Pokemon Snap!!! Super Xcited!! Then we watched Where the Wild Things Are. It looked really kwel, but I was a little disappointed with the ending... I feel like they could have continued it.
I was going to hang out with another friend, but she cancelled because one of her cousins is in the hospital and they're expecting her to give birth sometime today! ^_^
I'm burning willpower right now. Something unrelated.
I'm getting pretty worried about cosplay for Y-con!! >.< so much to do, so little time. When I get back, I'm going to build my cabinets, organize cosplay stuff, find stuff. I'll be happy if I just finish my Yuki cosplay. I also got new AWESOME BOOTS from Hot Topic! They're tall lace-ups with heels! I need to get long white shoelaces for them. After that, I'll work on Ritsu. I'll work on other cosplays if I have the time.
I worked on a summer dress and fixed a necklace for my mom. I need to work harder and faster. Maybe I can do a project a day and finish my mom's earrings tomorrow.
I went to JoAnn's today~! I LOVE going to the one here in Dallas because it's so big and has everything I need. ^_^ I bought a $10 wig, but am going to return it since it was crappy. It would be fore Ran Mao and/or Sailor Saturn since they both have short black hair with bangs. I spent too much there >.<
Not sure why I'm still friends with him. But going, "We can't be friends anymore" is childish. Except that I would end the conversation by sticking my tongue out at him. :P
Then the day got worse because some of my friends are mad at another friend. Of course, I'm defending my friend, but it's a bit complicated. *sigh* I hate arguments.
Llamas. they're no fun.
I had an interview today, I think it went well... I'd rather have a job in a lab, but this job sounds like fun and at least it's a job.
There's no drama concerning me, I just feel like I'm on the outskirts of it. *sigh* I hate it when people I barely met have a bad opinion of me from what other people have said. I would rather that they get to know me themselves, instead of being prejudiced and not getting to know me. The number of people who misunderstand me is disturbing. o.0 Maybe they look at some of my actions and misunderstand. But I shouldn't have to justify my actions. I feel as if people are trying to find an excuse to dislike me.
I also sort of got into a odd discussion with a friend, I was misinformed. Arguing makes me feel bad (and I don't understand people that do). *sigh* Now I'm not sure what to say to that person.
Another thing that has been bothering me is when someone you're hanging out with keeps texting someone else. It really makes me feel like he/she would rather be elsewhere. I told me friend this, but he keeps doing it. I should talk it over again.
I've been told over and over again that I'm too nice when it comes to rejecting guys. It's just tough when a best guy friend who I spend a lot of time with says he likes me. Then they say that they'll be fine; but really they're not. FRUSTRATED!! *headdesk* even when they say that they're different from the other guys and won't be upset, I'm still weary because it's been disproved so many times.
Oh, and good news... just to tell you guys, I started going out with a guy after I got back from Dallas ^__^ He's really sweet! <3 Things are going well ^_^ However, I think his presence secretly upset some guys on Saturday. This goes back to me worrying too much about others. I knew some guys liked me, so I made sure to inform them before going out with S, and trying to prepare them. When I was in Dallas and told my mom that I will have a boyfriend, she was confused as to why I wasn't going out with him yet. When I explained that I didn't want any guys being upset, she told me that they would be fine and that I was over-worrying. But I didn't want anyone going emo/ suicidal. Although I think some went emo anyways. *sigh* If cloning myself could make everyone happy, I would totally do it. But I would be with S, of course. ^_^
I've been busy lately, and the days have a bit jumbled together. wed, went to DAC, went to Crepe House, then Guitar Hero 5 and the BEATLES ROCKBAND!! I was very excited!! ^__^ it will happen again. Thurs, went running with J as has become the usual custom, but this time no lunch with her and G (sometimes honored by the appearance of L). Gave M a ride to an interview in Woodland, went to a few thrift stores, Ross, and Marshalls ^_^ I got 2 plain black ties (one needs ribbon for Honey-sempai, and the other into a Ravenclaw tie). Went home, bought a betta fish
Inturruption so I can talk about my betta! He's adorable! ^_^ his fins were white in the store, but I took him home, and now he's all a brilliant blue. He's a halfmoon betta, so he has a really pretty fan-like tail! I haven't thought of a name yet, so I'm alling him Fred in the meanwhile ^_^
after I bought Fred, I put the rice to cook, went to the grocery store really quick, then picked up J, G, and L to make sushi!! ^__^ it was fun, especially experimenting with fillings. I even managed to make an inside-out roll! K arrived while I was picking people up- and fell asleep on the couch. I then had leftover sushi and decided to take it to DAC and go with K instead of doing the DnD game, which really wasn't working online anyways. Went to a bit of afters.
I went to the new Target to find cosplay stuff. *sigh* turtleneck is too big, I'm going to exchange it tomorrow. And I fear I don't have enough pink fabric... *back to sewing*
Oh! before i forget to tell ppl, I'll be back in Dallas from the 12th to 19th. My parents are going to a doctor convention (conference) in Boston and are leaving me to care for my brother. More time for me to work on cosplay before Y-Con.
movie thing later this week, teaching J and kit how to make sushi, then I have an online D&D.
Overall, this was a good week, Ko, J, and I did kareoke at Crepe House Uni for a long time before DAC. I've been watching movies that I have been meaning to see. Watched Coraline. did some shopping with S, bought a shirt ^__^ I've been cleaning, finally have a bookshelf, cosplaying stuff. I'll probably be up for a bit.
It's almost 2 am over here. I've been cleaning and helping out my mom and such.
Not much to write about, I have been pondering :P
I've finished reading books, I've been watching True Blood Season 2 ^_^ but I still think the books are better! *sigh* I think I have some fairy blood in me, along with the magic pants. I've also been watching Katekyo Hitman Reborn, I'm somewhere above the 100 mark. Mmmm... vampires. Which makes me look forward to Y-con :P And going back to Davis because the rest of the Southern Vampire Mysteries are there so I can finish the series!!!
Just read the above paragraph, it really is all over the place ^_^ I have weird trains of thought.
It's wierd thinking that tomorrow's my last full day in Dallas. Unless I get recalled/ deported back again. At least when I go back, I'll have a sewing machine (YAY!) and a car waiting for me. I like cars- my parents got me an SUV >.< So not me, but it is really safe. My parents traded in the old Mercedes ML320 '98 for the Saturn VUE Hybrid '09. >.< It's through Obama's clash for clunkers thing. (I'm tempted to list my parent's cars here, lol... <3 cars).
I went to the mall today! Returned a shirt today and not saying what I bought. ^_~
I 'm starting to think that I overuse emoticons when I'm tired. Saturday's going to be fun. A character may be made for a game, maybe not- it depends on how busy I am. Sunday is going to be interesting (lol, to say the least). Russian, German, ---, and I are going to Sudwerks (which German keeps correcting me to Sudverks). I want to invite T and his wife, I'm not sure if they're going. I need to call German see if he can invite his gf too. Tuesday will also be fun. Next weekend will be fun. And the next :P I need to work on cosplay!!
Things to do in Davis:
buy pots for the Dollar Tree to use for dyeing fabric, as the same ones should not be used for cooking
make Chrome's Trident
work on Mikoto
work on Yuki
find a job (that's pretty important)
send a check
go to Evangeline's (and some bra shopping ^_^)
get my room organized
*a sign that I should sleep and not watch more True Blood*
I need to return a shirt at the mall still. I'm going to work on cosplay while sewing. I'm going to dye stuff when I get back to Davis. What else...? I've also been reading a lot. Finished reading "Dead to the World" and am currently halfway through "Dead as a Doornail." At this rate, I'm going to be stuck reading "Comedy of Errors" on the airplane, which isn't a light read. Maybe I'll reread something.
I need to pick up my parents today at 3. But before then I need to make it look like I did more than I actually did, so I'm going to clean the closet more. Basically, its one of those storage closets that connects to the playroom and I think it's bigger than the room I have now in Davis. It's definitely larger than b's room at our old house. A bunch of my old stuff is in there, including toys. We have 2 boxes just of legos. And I think I'll be heading back to Davis with a hot glue gun ^_^ I found 3 of them while cleaning.
I'm going to make sushi tonight for my parents! And I'm going to buy a fruit tart for my dad; I bought one for me last week and was sad that he didn't get one. The guy at the register had been hitting on my hard enough that even I noticed and b noticed too. Speaking of which, I was walking Daisy in on of my old, huge, too-big-for-me shirts that I got for free from high school senior year, or something. It's so big that I tucked it into my shirts So that it would look like I was wearing something underneath. And I got whistled at!!! Besides the fact that I usually don't get that kind of attention, the fact that I was wearing that ridiculously huge shirt and my shorts were definatey showing makes it odd. >.< I blame the weather.
I can't wait to get back to Davis, play Changeling and hopefully Mage. I want to hang out with my friends! ^_^
I tried dying the lace I bought, but the shade of grey was too dark. I lightened it with some bleach which worked for some parts, but same parts became a bit blotchy. Looks like I'm going to have to buy more lace...
I've also worked a little bit on the Mikoto costume, it's going okay. I need to find a white skirt and a black turtleneck, which should be easy.
Finished the photo albums, hurrah!
Cleaned out the closet and playroom a little bit. You know when parents take things away from you so that you do homework instead? Years ago in high school, my mom took away my Deathscythe Hell Gundam Model and I hadn't seen it since. UNTIL NOW!! ^_^ I as overjoyed when I found it! It was in a box that was behind another box, which I hadn't seen until now. Hurrah!
I showered then took a nice hot soak in the bath while reading Dead to the World, the 4th book to the Sookie Stackhouse series (which the series True Blood is based off of). Rainy weather makes me want to curl up with a good book and drink something hot, like tea. ^_^ Which is exactly what I'm doing.
